Columbus Lyrics

The king had something changed within him
I should have told him no
Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go
Now aching wires, midnight fires
Things I could not know
Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go

You don't suppose there'd be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need someone's words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you
And I don't blame myself

Waiting for my small reward
It's going to come somehow
Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now
We don't possess a single empty tear or furrowed brow
Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now

You don't suppose there'd be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need someone's words to reassure me
I can't change any of you
I can't change myself

The man had something strange about him
He should have let me know
Oh Columbus, I wish I'd never let you go

Columbus
